JVM Crash due to `EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION` in org.infinispan.util.concurrent.jdk8backported.LongAdder

Solution Verified - Updated

Environment

  • Windows Servers
  • Windows Destop Version
  • Oracle Java
  • Java 1.6

Issue

  • The JVM is crashing with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION; the full trace is below:
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x0000000007b3bfbd, pid=5156, tid=6072
#
# JRE version: 6.0_45-b06
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (20.45-b01 mixed mode windows-amd64 compressed oops)
# Problematic frame:
# J  org.infinispan.util.concurrent.jdk8backported.LongAdder.sum()J
#

Resolution

  • Upgrade to recent Java 1.7 releases

  • Get in touch with your Java Vendor.

  • As a workaround, exclude the problem method from compilation, for example:

      -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/infinispan/util/concurrent/jdk8backported/LongAdder,add
  -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/infinispan/util/concurrent/jdk8backported/LongAdder,sum

Root Cause

  • User Access Control appears to be preventing access to parts of some versions of the JDK that were not designed with this component in mind.

Diagnostic Steps

  • Obtained hs_err_<pid> files to examine the crash, and this appears to be in the org.infinispan.util.concurrent.jdk8backported.LongAdder.sum() or org.infinispan.util.concurrent.jdk8backported.LongAdder.add() function from JBoss.
